Chapter 13: The Helplessness of the Black Tower
Two days later, in the second gladiatorial fight, Li Zhan easily defeated his opponent. It was precisely because he defeated Walton in the last game that his odds www.biquge.info changed from 16 to 7, and after this victory, his odds plummeted to 2.
However, Li Zhan didn't care about his odds, the opponent in this game was just a slave fighter, and after defeating him, he got 200 bonus points, which was originally lower than him.
All in all, he now has 1250 bonus points, which is enough for him to buy a better weapon in the system mall.
Two days later, his third gladiatorial fight ended without a single odds, and no one was going to bet on him again.
The final of the last game will be held half a month later, so that he can have a rare leisure time and enjoy the days of becoming a rich man.
During this time, the construction of his manor did not stop, and he spent nearly 100 gold coins to expand the manor, with more land and more labor. The original three people were simply not enough, and Emile served as his life assistant, handling the manor's chores, while McCann became a full-time cook, serving the entire manor's diet.
In order to meet the needs of production, Li Zhan brought back four slaves from the slave market at one time, but on the way back, he met an acquaintance, that is, the Black Tower.
The initial capital of the Black Tower, which got rid of the slave status, was exactly the same as Li Zhanna, but the fate was completely different. Now Li Zhan is already a comfortable manor owner, in addition to participating in the gladiator league, life is happy and leisurely. But life in the Black Tower is difficult.
When he met the Black Tower again, Li Zhan found that the other party had become a soldier, and his body was not as strong as before, and he looked a little thin.
"The Black Tower? How did you end up in the military? Seeing the Black Tower, Li Zhan was surprised and asked him about the situation.
It was only after a helpless sigh that Heita explained what had happened to him these days.
Since that gladiatorial fight, Heita couldn't wait to apply for the free contract, and because he had a lot of money, he had been a slave for other people's families in the past, and now he finally had the opportunity to call slaves, so he went to the slave market to buy a few slaves.
But he didn't expect that before he could buy a slave, his money bag would be touched and he would be penniless. I didn't want to be a slave, so I had no choice but to join the army and become a member of the patrol.
Hearing Heita tell how he was so down, Li Zhan knew that he had encountered the same situation as him. However, he was lucky to be able to catch the thief, and Mario helped him out of the siege, otherwise the ending is not expected to be much different from the Black Tower.
Looking at the lonely appearance of the Black Tower, Li Zhan also felt pity in his heart, and stretched out his hand to give him a few gold coins.
Unexpectedly, Heita was furious when he saw his actions, and shouted: "Li Zhan, I have always regarded you as my friend, we have a lifelong friendship, do you want to pity me and give me money?" You're humiliating me! ”
Originally, Li Zhan really planned to give Heita dozens of gold coins so that he could improve his life, but now that he is so rejecting this matter, it seems that it will not be beneficial to force him to give him money, and he will not accept his kindness.
However, Li Zhan is still very clear about the strength of the Black Tower, since the other party does not like to be chared, upright people are often more reliable, so he thought about it for a while, and then he had an idea: It is better to take the Black Tower for his own use and let him guard the manor for himself.
Attention has been decided, Li Zhan smiled and said to Heita: "Heita, you and I both came out of the gladiatorial arena together, I have now built a manor in the east of the town, and I just lack a helper like you, how about it, come and help me!" ”
As soon as these words came out, Heita's eyes became even more angry when he looked at Li Zhan, as if his eyes were about to burst out at any time.
Oops, this idiot would be mistaken.
Li Zhan meant that he wanted Heita to come over to help him, not that he wanted to treat Heita as his slave, but now seeing Heita's eyes and the anger on his face, he knew that Heita must have thought wrong.
"Black Tower! I don't want you to be my slave, we are friends, I want you to come and help me, you are a free man, I definitely don't want you to be my slave. Li Zhan hurriedly explained.
Hearing Li Zhan's explanation, Heita's anger also disappeared, he looked at Li Zhan suspiciously, and asked, "Li Zhan, thank you, but I can't do anything else except for some rough work, what can I help you?" ”
This black tower used to do heavy physical work, so he trained a lot of muscles, and now Li Zhan asked him to go over to help, he really didn't know what he could do.
Li Zhan suddenly felt that this big black man was a little cute, he didn't want to give him money for nothing, and he was so frank that he didn't know anything except for doing rough work, it was just a tendon, no wonder he was taken away by others.
"You also know that the manor is too big for me to manage alone, and people from other manors often come to me to steal crops, so I want to ask you to help me manage the manor, and by the way, teach those who steal a good lesson."
Li Zhan said this to the point, the most painful thing in the Black Tower now is not anything else, it is a thief. Because of the thief, his originally happy and prosperous life was completely ruined, and he was reduced to working as an errand for the patrol team, and he could only receive a small salary every month, which was really not what he wanted.
"What! Thief! Heta gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and roared in a low voice, "I hate thieves more than anything!" Li Zhan, I'll help you, bring them to them, I'll beat them up! ”
In this way, Heita threw down his equipment without hesitation, and followed Li Zhan away, leaving another soldier stunned: "Is there a mistake, catch a thief, you can also catch a soldier when you are a soldier, and we are going to catch thieves in the slave market!" ”
Back at the manor, Li Zhan asked Landry to bring the four slaves to the dormitory.
Because after the expansion of the manor, Li Zhan also considered the problem of insufficient labor, and the supplementary labor force naturally had to keep up with the logistics facilities, so he bought a house here, all of which were converted into dormitories, and provided them to Landry for free to live in, of course, McCann and Emile still lived with him, after all, his life still needed someone to take care of.
"Wow! Li Zhan, you really have you, you actually got such a big manor! Heita looked at the 50 hectares of land in front of him, full of green peanut leaves, it seemed that the growth effect was still very gratifying, he couldn't help but praise, "Amazing!" You're really a farmer! ”
Looking at the envious look on the black tower, Li Zhan also smiled, he pointed to the large open space on his left, and said to the black tower: "Oh, this place is also mine, but it hasn't started planting yet." ”
Following the direction of Li Zhan's finger, Heita looked at it and suddenly gasped: this piece of land is several times larger than the previous land full of peanuts and potatoes, which costs a lot of gold coins! It seems that the current Li Zhan is definitely not as simple as the twenty-five gold coins at the beginning, because this land is worth at least 100 gold coins.
"To tell you the truth, Li Zhan, can you tell me, where did you get the money, I remember that day the two of us divided 50 gold coins equally, 25 gold coins can get such a large piece of land?" Heita finally began to think about the problem with his head, he pointed to the land in front of him and asked Li Zhan, "Did you go to the casino?" ”
In Heita's opinion, if a person wants to be able to obtain so much wealth in a short period of time, there is no other way than to go to the casino, so he guessed that Li Zhan must have gone to the casino.
"Hey, you big black man, how do you talk, our master's money is rightfully earned, the casino is crooked, our master won't go back at all!" At this time, Amir, who was on the side, came over, and saw that Heita suspected that Li Zhan had gone to the casino, and he was also angry in his heart, obviously his master went to participate in the gladiator league to win, how could it be earned by the casino!
"Casino?!"
Hearing this term, Li Zhan's eyes suddenly widened, the regret in his heart, he didn't know that there was actually a casino in this Castel Town, which was the easiest place to get rich, and now he needed gold coins very much. If you rely on the peanuts and potatoes grown in front of you, you won't see the harvest until at least 3 months later, and casinos, making money is fast!
"Isn't it true that you didn't win money back from somewhere?" Heita scratched his head, smiled, patted Li Zhan's shoulder with his hand and said, "Hehe, I'm sorry, Li Zhan, I'm wrong to blame you." ”
"Big black guys are really brainless. Hum! Emile sneered at the Black Tower, and then said to Li Zhan, "Master, these four newcomers Landry have already made arrangements, McCann will go to the market to buy ingredients, and dinner will be available in two hours." ”
"Blacktower, where did you say the casino?" Li Zhan didn't pay attention to Emile, but looked at the Black Tower very seriously.
Seeing that Li Zhan was suddenly interested in the casino, Heita was also a little surprised: "You want to go to the casino to make money?" ”
At the same time, Emile also felt incredible, but he didn't expect Li Zhan to really want to go to the casino. I didn't go before because he wasn't good at gambling, but because he didn't know there was a casino: "Master, do you really want to go to the casino?" ”
"Master, you can't go! Casinos are often dressed in gold and silver, and come out with a bare buttocks, which is not easy to buy such a large manor, let's take our time to make money, don't rush for a while! ”
"Yes, Li Zhan, the casino is a place where people don't spit out bones, and several manor owners in the town lost all their property there, and finally became other people's slaves. You can't..."
Before the words fell, Li Zhan suddenly shouted loudly: "Who wants to gamble for money, I want to open a casino!" ”
